East Suffolk Railway— -The Earl of Stradbroke ,. the chairman of the company , has published a letter in which lie observes , that unless this line is made available for traffic on or l ) efore IMonday , the 2 nd of May , it will '_ bc-desirable to call a inejctin ^ of shareholders and the public generally at Ipswich to ascertain Who really is to blame . Toulon and Marseillics .- ^ TIig works of this railway have been pushed forward so actively that it is expected the line will be rea < 7 y . for traffic at the beginning of May . A train of several waggon ' s went through , the other day , from' end to end . Speed on Railways . —The following js snid to be 1
a correct calculation of the speed in a giventune on the railways of different countries : —Englimd , main speed , 36 , expiess , 60 ; maximuin , 8-2 . Germany , main speed , 36 , express , 58 ; niaxiinuin , 7 i > . United States , main speed , 40 ; express , S 6 ; maxinnini , 100 . France , main speed , 40 ; express , 7-2 ; maxinium , 8 G . It should be borne in miud that in the United States there are lines of the lengtli of 8 , 800 miles , the stations on which arc " at great distances from each other . Railway Piuectoks and the Railway Association . — Complaints have been laid before the Kentish magistrates respecting facilities afforded by the South-Eastern Company for the conveyance of
prize-fighters and their attendant mobs , and a promise has been made on behalf of the company that the evil shall bo provided ng . unst . Meanwhile , tho disgraceful fight between the Brighton and boutli-Wcstern , which can yield no other results than . those of damaging the property of hundreds of lnnuhos and setting the demoralising example ot blind ana destructive antagonism , where only there should be rjvtionnl competition nnd a rcl'iimco upon tno law , still continues without the slightest , interposition on the part of tho shareholders , who , possessing the power to prevent it , must ei her ' do so , or be regarded as its abettors . The Uaihrn Association is evidently worse than useless in such matters , since , while apparently it is unable to ' elFc t anything , it loads tho public to behevo thnt there U a constituted body that niay bo trusted to not at tlio proper moment . — Times .
